Product Description

Review
"'As a scholarly reference, this edition is probably unsurpassable... a rightly-lauded triumph of scholarship, it should be on the shelf of every musician.' Music Teacher 'Whatever other publishers produce, it is likely that, in the UK, the best-selling edition of the 48 will be the one published by the Associated Board.' Early Music News '... this will be the standard text in the UK and worldwide, alongside all the other marvellous Bach, Schubert and Brahms editions already in Signature volumes.' Classical Piano 'Whatever your chosen instrument, this is not only a fine editorial achievement, but also a compendium of both wisdom and pleasure virtually without equal.' Harpsichord and Fortepiano '... beautifully engraved and edited with the needs of the performer in mind.' Music Business 'Well presented and informative, this represents a valuable addition to the piano (keyboard) library.' Sheet Music Latest 'The best English-language edition so far. Contains very useful material on manuscript sources, variants, and performance questions. A bonus is the inclusion of Donald Francis Tovey's classic analyses of each prelude and fugue, along with the editor's helpful caveats.' Early Music America Winter 2000/1"

Product Description
Published within the 'Signature' Series, a series of authoritative performing editions of standard keyboard works, prepared from original sources by leading scholars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential, 11 Aug 2004
By A Customer
Along with the sonatas of Beethoven and Mozart, The Well-Tempered Clavier is essential material for all intermediate to advanced pianists. This scholarly ABRSM edition, which is more faithful to the autograph than some, is brilliantly clear and has copious and excellent performance notes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, 18 May 2009
By Kirk St Moritz "Kirk" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I was tempted to get the combined Vols 1 and 2 version of this classic, but am glad I didn't. This is just the right size and weight to fit snugly on a piano's music stand without breaking the books spine.

I won't comment on the pieces themselves, as to do so would be totally superfluous. You know what these are already, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this.

The commentary is an interesting read as well. I just wish the pieces didn't take so long to learn!
